Brooks
Williams is a fantisically talented guitarist and beautifully
charismatic performer. He stands on tradition but he doesn't stand
still. His influences fly so fast and furious they blur. Like
drinking whiskey from a honey jar, you get both the sweet and the
bite. He's universally loved across the globe.
He
not only tours like a hellhound's on his trail, and creates a
super-charged music that is electrifying and fighting-fit. Brooks was
born in Statesboro, Georgia (the town made famous by country-blues
legend Blind Willie McTell), is a great singer. In 2013 he was
nominated ?best male vocalist' by the UK's foremost roots-music
mavens, Spiral Earth. AmericanaUK says, "he has a beautiful voice that you just
melt into."
And
he's one helluva good guitar player, ranked in the "Top 100 Acoustic
Guitarists." The San Antonio Light says that Williams
is a "fret
monster who has to be seen to be believed!"
Brooks
Williams writes songs that are a collision of roots and evolution.
Rocking. Economical. Ironic. The arrangements are tight, and yet the
performances are rich in blues pathos. Words like timeless, astute,
archetypal just about cover it.
Walking
the line between blues and Americana, Brooks Williams has worked
stages worldwide for over 25 years, amassing a staggering
back-catalogue of songs, recordings and tales. With nearly 23 CDs to
his name, fRoots says Williams' music "Americana at its
finest!"
